Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It's that time again... Pile more and more dependencies on top of a desktop environment, get shocked when it breaks, and take out your rage on people explaining that it's free dev work and you're welcome to contribute.

    Nah. As far as I am aware of, Gnome went "this is it by default, want more customisability - here is API, install or write your own extensions". Which is fine with me. Then they break API without announcement in advance, and their response to community is along the lines of "fuck you, deal with it". Which is not fine with me, and I am not using Gnome ever since discovering it

    GNOME is great. Things break sometimes which is a Linux and a software thing. It's free dev work to begin with.

    Doesn't mean being a dick is ok, even if a useful dick

    I don't know, I don't choose my software based on the developer's personal dispositions. I suspect I'd be unable to use any software if I did.

    [–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    More or less this is my estimate too, but being developer myself has its consequences: some things I will never accept to the point of "I will rather code this myself than encourage this kind of attitude going on"
